Is Discworld good? Would you recommend it? Could you give us a short not too spoilery description of it?

It's fantastic. It's very similar in humor to Good Omens. Discworld is basically just a bunch of different fantasy series set on the Discworld, which is a flat disc balanced on the backs of four elephants which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle, Great A'Tuin, as it flys through space. Many of the stories center around the city of Ankh-Morpork, which is kind of a post-Renaissance era London style town.

I'd suggest the book Small Gods as a good intro, or perhaps one of the City Watch books which starts with Guards Guards. There are a ton of different storylines with different characters to choose from.
